You can’t make this up.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Democrat SOS and candidate for Governor who loves to lecture everyone about “transparency”, just oversaw one of the biggest taxpayer-funded tech flops in recent Michigan history.
Her much-hyped “Michigan Transparency Network (MiTN)” was supposed to open the books and make government more accountable. Instead? It’s a broken, glitch-filled embarrassment that’s hiding more than it’s showing.
Just look at what’s happening:
The site crashes constantly, reports don’t load, and basic search features are gone.
Lawmakers say 40 major problems still haven’t been fixed.
Campaign filings are missing, incomplete, or impossible to upload.
And the kicker? The same vendor who ran the old, working system got paid millions more to build this disaster.
Even Democrats in the legislature are fed up — the new state budget actually strips Benson of control over IT systems. That’s how bad it is.
This isn’t a mistake. It’s a pattern.
Jocelyn Benson has made a career out of preaching transparency while hiding behind bureaucracy and blaming everyone else when things go wrong.
Taxpayers deserve accountability not excuses. When millions of your dollars are wasted on a failed system that silences watchdogs and frustrates the public, that’s not “good government.” That’s Democrat mismanagement at its finest.
We’re done watching Democrats spend your money to cover their own failures.
Now’s the time to stand up, demand oversight, and send a message that Michigan voters are paying attention.
